INSTALLATION
CAUTION: DO NOT JOIN CONVERTER CONNECTOR UNTIL INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE AND AC POWER IS
SUPPLIED TO THE EMERGENCY DRIVER.
NOTE: Make sure the necessary branch circuit wiring is available. An unswitched source of power is
required. The emergency driver must be fed from the same branch circuit as the AC driver.
This product is suitable for field installation with certain LED loads, including LED luminaires, DC voltage driven LED replacements
for fluorescent lamps, and others. To determine if your luminaire is eligible for field installation, go to the Design Lights on
sortium website (http://www.designlights.org) and search for your LED load by model name or model number. If found in the
database, these products are pre approved to be installed together in the field or at a luminaire manufacturer. Prior to installation,
determine the system light output by doing the following:
1.Ensure the LED load’s rated power is greater than or equal to the power output of this emergency LED driver. This is to
ensure that this emergency product will not produce more power than the LED load can handle, thus ensuring that the
LED load will not be damaged when the system is in the emergency mode.
2.Verify that the forward voltage of the luminaire’s LED array is within the limits of this emergency LED driver. The forward
voltage of the LED array is commonly designated as Vf and should be found on the luminaire markings, in the luminaire
specifications, or imprinted directly on the LED arrays. If multiple LED arrays are to be driven, verify that the total forward voltage is within the limits of this product. Using a voltage meter, it may be possible to directly measure the
voltage across the LED arrays when operating from the AC driver.

UL Classified Emergency products can be paired with LED luminaires or retrofit kits if found in the Design Lights
Consortium database. Go to the Design Lights Consortium website (http://www.designlights.org) and search for your LED
system by model name or model number. If found in the database, these products are pre approved by UL to be installed
together in the field or at a luminaire manufacturer, provided steps are taken to ensure there will be sufficient light output in the end application.
You can estimate the egress lighting illumination levels by doing the following:
a. Find the efficacy of the LED load, which will be found in the Design Lights Consortium database. This number will be given in lumens per watt (lm/w).
b. Lumens can be calculated by multiplying the output power of the emergency LED driver by the efficacy of the LED load. In many cases the actual lumen output in emergency mode will be greater than this calculation gives, however it will provide a good estimate for beginning the lighting design of the system.
c. Using the results of this calculation and industry standard lighting design tools, calculate the anticipated illumination levels in the path of egress.
Lumens In Emergency Mode = Lumens per Watt of Fixture X Output Power of Choosen Product
________________(Lumens) = __________________(lm/W) X 6 (W)
NOTE: This product has been designed to reliably interface with a wide selection of LED loads and is electrically compatible
with every simple LED array that meets criteria 1 and 2 above. However, compatibility cannot be guaranteed with all current and
future LED systems. Compatibility testing of the end-use system is suggested. Please contact the factory with any questions.
After installation, it will be necessary to measure the egress lighting illumination levels to ensure it complies with national,
state, and local code requirements.
Installation of this emergency LED driver will vary based on
the luminaire type, however, generally follow these steps.
STEP #1
INSTALLING THE EMERGENCY DRIVER
> Disconnect AC power from the LED luminaire.
>Mount the emergency LED driver by the mounting tabs using the supplied screws. The luminaire’s installation
instructions may provide guidance on the recommended mounting location.
>The emergency LED driver may be remote mounted from the luminaire. If used in conjunction with an AC driver, this
distance is up to half the distance the AC driver manufacturer recommends remote mounting the AC driver from the LED
Load. If used without an AC driver, please contact the factory.
> Mounting Height: This product meets or exceeds the NFPA minimum light requirements with all loads, down to the
smallest rated lamp load, at heights up to 7.17ft (2.2m). Many factors influence emergency illumination levels, such as
the lamp load selected, luminare design, and environmental factors therefore end use verification is necessary. For field
installations, when the attached luminaire is mounted at heights greater than 7.17ft (2.2m), the level of illumination
must be measured in the end application to ensure the requirements of NFPA 101 and local codes are satisfied.

WIRING THE EMERGENCY DRIVER
> Use the wiring diagram of page 4 to connect the emergency driver to the AC driver and LED load. Make sure all connections are in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local regulations.
> After installation is complete, supply AC power to the emergency driver and join the converter connector.
> At this point, power should be connected to both the AC driver and the emergency driver, and the Charging Indicator Light should illuminate indicating the battery is charging.
> A short-term discharge test may be conducted after the emergency driver has been charged for one hour. Charge for 24 hours before conducting a long-term discharge test. Refer to OPERATION.
> In a readily visible location, attach the label "CAUTION - This Unit Has More Than One Power Connection Point.
To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock, Disconnect Both The Branch Circuit-Breakers Or Fuses And Emergency
Power Supplies Before Servicing."

OPERATION
During normal operation AC power is applied and the converter connector is closed, the charging indicator light is
illuminated, indicating that the battery is being charged. When power fails, the emergency LED driver automatically
switches to emergency power (internal battery), operating the LED load for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is
restored, the emergency driver returns to the charging mode.
MAINTENANCE
Although no routine maintenance is required to keep the emergency driver functional, it should be checked periodically to
ensure that it is working. The following schedule is recommended:
1. Visually inspect the charging indicator light monthly. It should be illuminated.
2. Test the emergency operation of the fixture at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds. The LED load should operate at reduced illumination.
3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once a year. The LED load should operate at reduced illumination for at least 90 minutes.
